Enti-Mon

Escapism

Chapter 30: Escapism

(Aris POV)

Her face went cold and had a blank stare. I glanced at the interrogator who was holding a smoking gun. She blew away the smoke at the end and motioned something to the guards.

I stared petrified at Niki's cold body that once roamed me. All the memories. The bus, school, midnight pond, etc... I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

My breath was trembling and tear  drops unintentionally fell. It felt as if my life was in slow motion. My vision was blurry and breathing had hard. My panic attack started up again.

I was going to say something, anything, but... I couldn't. I mentally and physically couldn't.

They tranquilized and dragged me back to my dorm. Not having a care in the world about my panic attack.

Once I was back in my room, I layed on my bed uncontrollably gripping the sheets and screaming. My heart was beating faster than it has ever before.

~Later~

Many hours passed but I was still in shock. Once I regained my ability to walk, I got up and banged on my door hoping for someone to hear but no one came. I wasn't able to even go outside with Hooper.

This feeling was... indescribable. It was a mix of shock, distraught, panic, and depression.

I lay on the ground holding my knees to my chest rocking back and forth. It was almost 2 AM but my eyes were wide open. I physically couldn't close them.

My bottom lip trembled thinking about the fact that 24 hours ago, we were together on my bed making love. I got a chill thinking back to those moments.

I suddenly got an idea. I forcefully closed my eyes and let go of my legs. Without even trying, I instantly fell into the black void to be joined by Entie.

"Whats wrong?" He asked noticing my eye bags.

"Niki..." I trembled. He looked me straight in the eye, "What happened?"

"She was... K- Killed-... By the-... Bad-..." He hugged me. The same hug that he used when we bonded.

"Im so sorry..." He said.

I wiped my teary eyes, "It's okay... I'll get over it soon..." He sighed, "No... You both had something I've never seen in anyone before. Not even true lovers... You both had an... Enti-mon bond..." I looked down, "But we never... Bonded..."

"I know. Which is odd but shows yalls connection is more powerful than an actual human connection..." He explained.

"Doesn't matter now though because we will never see each other again..."

I quickly opened my eyes transferring my consciousness into the cold bare room.

It was now 2 AM sharp and I was finally beginning to become tired. I got up and layed down on my cold bed.

Everything felt small and lonely now. I have no one to help me through this either.

I need to find away to escape.

From everything.
